It's "easy" to scrapbook life's special events--especially when they correspond so perfectly with the patterned papers, stickers and accents readily available at your LSS (sports, babies, school days, holidays, vacation...)
But sometimes making a page that reflects something deeper requires a little more thinking outside the box, while at the same time giving you a bit more freedom to craft with whatever you want, however you want... whenever you want...
And I think that's why I love this page by Design Team member Caroline Davis. She's used a mix of different products from a variety of different companies and when they're all brought together, the words + photos tell a story you wouldn't normally find printed on a sheet of patterned paper and the design is simply fresh & fun!
"Believe in Yourself" Layout by Caroline Davis
Supplies Used:
Simple Stories Documented Paper: Noteworthy
We R Memory Keepers Flowers
Studio Calico Wood Veneer Pieces
Studio Calico Chipboard Shapes
Mister Huey's Mist: Leaf Green
Bazzill Cardstock

So I encourage each of you to find those photos (or go out and take a few!) that tell the deeper story that's so easily left out of our albums and have a little fun mixing the goodies in your stash for a fun experiment in creative expression!
Thanks for sharing, Caroline!
Awesome page! I especially love the cut out hexagons!
